Chapter 64: Blessings and Misfortunes
After Lianxin welcomed Chen Fu and them into the living room, she asked them to drink tea and sit in the living room for a while, and she immediately went to invite Ye Zheng to come.
After Ye Zheng came out of the side room, he saw Chen Fu sitting on the chair at the bottom of the left side of the living room, and there was a person sitting next to him, who was about forty years old, thin and small, wearing a set of shabby scholar's robes, and the facial features on his face gave people a feeling smaller than ordinary people, especially the pair of slippery little triangular eyes, coupled with the bush of withered yellow goat's beard on his upper and lower chins, the whole person from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside, revealed a trace of cunning philistine, especially when Ye Zheng found that he looked at Lianxin, his eyes were quite dirty, and suddenly, he felt that this person was so obscene, and he couldn't help but feel a little disgusted and disdainful of him in his heart, but he can't show it on his face.
However, all this in Ye Zheng's eyes was quietly watched by the lewd man, and he saw a trace of disappointment and sigh in his eyes, which flashed in a flash, and in an instant, he returned to the obscene philistine appearance just now.
"The owner of the village!"
When Chen Fu saw Ye Zheng come out, he immediately got up with the man and bowed his hand.
Ye Zheng hummed lightly, and then let the two of them sit down, recently being the owner of the village for a few days, Ye Zheng also began to explore some pretending skills as a superior, so now his speech and demeanor, as well as the momentum in his eyes, are also quite majestic.
Ye Zheng sat down on the main seat, held a cup of tea, took a sip gently, his eyes swept over the obscene man sitting next to Chen Fu, and said with a smile: "This gentleman has a big name, and Ye Zheng's eyes are very raw." ”
Hearing this, Chen Fu hurriedly introduced to him: "This gentleman's name is Wang Jing, he was a talented man before he entered Feifeng Village, because he was proficient in calligraphy and ink, so I arranged for him to be a palmster under me. ”
In the feudal society under the rule of the Great Lie Dynasty, there are not many people who are generally literate and readable, and those who have the ability to be Mr. Zhangbo are even rarer.
Therefore, when Ye Zheng learned that the thin monkey man in front of him, who was not good-looking, and even quite obscene, was actually Mr. Zhangbo, he suddenly felt a little less contempt in his heart, and then he bowed his hand with respect on his face: "It turns out that Mr. Wang Jing is a scholar, but Ye is disrespectful." ”
Seeing this, Wang Jing hurriedly got up and said with a flattered look: "The owner of the village is serious, the owner of the village is serious, Wang Mou is clothy, but he knows some pen and ink, and he eats with a mouthful of food, as for the title of reader, Wang Mou will never dare to take it." ”
Ye Zheng smiled, and after a few polite greetings with them, he directly cut to the topic and asked, "I don't know if Hall Master Chen and Mr. Wang need my help when they come here." ”
After hearing this, Chen Fu laughed dryly, waved his hand and said: "Actually, I have nothing to do to find the owner of the village, I specially brought Mr. Wang over, hehe, okay, since the people have been brought, the subordinates have retired first, and I still have a lot of things waiting for me to be busy!"
After speaking, Chen Fu bowed his hand and said goodbye, and suddenly, in the living room, only Ye Zheng and Wang Jing were left.
Just now, Ye Zheng heard that it was Wang Jing who asked Chen Fu to bring him to see him, and suddenly, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he asked: "This time, Mr. Wang Jing came with Hall Master Chen, I don't know what to look for me?"
Hearing him ask, Wang Jing coughed lightly, and said hesitantly: "What Wang said this time, I'm afraid that there will be some unfounded worries, if it displeases the owner of the village, please also invite the owner of the village Haihan." ”
Ye Zheng was most annoyed by others selling him guanzi, and frowned at the moment, and said: "What do you have to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it, I don't like people to talk around the bush the most." ”
Hearing this, Wang Jing's face turned straight and said, "The owner of the village defeated the officers and soldiers of Dahe County this time, I don't know what plans he has in the future?"
Ye Zheng was stunned for a moment when he asked like this, to be honest, since he repelled those officers and soldiers the day before yesterday, he really hasn't thought about the specific things in the future, at least he hasn't thought about it for the time being, he just wants to stay in the cottage and rest for a while, pretend to be forced, and get over the addiction of this mountain king.
He pondered for a moment, and said: "For the time being, I really don't have any plans, let the brothers in the cottage recuperate for a while, and then talk about it, during this time, there are many brothers killed and injured in the cottage, I just want them to live a peaceful life, and the future will be talked about later!"
"The owner of the village, since you led people to repel the officers and soldiers the day before yesterday, the life of our cottage is destined to be unpeaceful. Wang Jing shook his head with a wry smile and said.
Ye Zheng raised his eyebrows, not quite understanding what Wang Jing meant when he said this, and immediately asked, "Where did Mr. say this?"
Wang Jing looked at him, took a deep breath, and said calmly: "Owner of the village, please Rong Wang have the courage to ask, if you are the county lord of Dahe County? This time you sent troops to suppress the bandits, not only did you not succeed, but were beaten by our gang of mountain bandits and abandoned their armor, and returned naked and defeated, if these things reach the eyes of the people, where is the face of the government? Where is the prestige of the imperial court? At that time, what will you do?"
Ye Zheng listened, and replied without thinking: "If I am the county lord of Dahe County, I will definitely report to the state city in an urgent letter, and ask Shangguan to send heavy troops to suppress the bandits and show the public, so as to shake the ......heavenly prestige of the imperial court" Saying this, his voice stopped abruptly, and he woke up suddenly, and suddenly, a cold sweat broke out on his back.
I'm too careless!
After the defeat of the officers and soldiers of the government, it would lead to such terrible consequences, he didn't think about it at the time, he just cared about it for a while, and now he caused a lot of trouble, and for a while he couldn't help but mess up, and he didn't know what to do.
You must know that the regular army in the state city is no easier to deal with than the garrison army in the county seat.
Like the regular army of those state towns, they are generally carefully selected brave men from the garrisons of various county towns, and the people selected are all proficient in martial arts. Ye Zheng once heard Niu Tiezhu say that the regular army of those state cities is at least the strength of first-class warriors, and they have all undergone strict military training, and the overall quality of the soldiers is quite strong, plus their equipment is excellent, the food is rich, and they are a group of fierce people who have seen blood on the battlefield, so if the imperial court is determined to send the regular army of the state city to exterminate them, then they will only have the only way to abandon the village and flee.
Although Ye Zheng is confident in the guns and arms in his hands, it also depends on who his opponent is? Like those wolf-like regular legions in the state city, if he comes to him, he may be able to use the advantage of guns and arms in his hands to repel them, and if the government sends a corps of tens of thousands to suppress the bandits, then he Ye Zheng will only have the right to run away.
After all, there are only a few hundred people that they can send to the battlefield in Feifengzhai, and in the face of the loosely disciplined garrison in Dahe County, they can still sneak attack and intercept successfully, but if they really encounter the well-disciplined and well-trained regular army in the state city, then the disadvantages of these rabble in their cottage will be completely revealed. Even if they could use their own arms and guns to catch them off guard at the beginning, but there were so many arms and equipment left in their warehouses at present, once they were all consumed, then they would only have to wait for the officers and soldiers to kill them.
Thinking of the powerful point, Ye Zheng couldn't help but gasp, and then he got up and bowed to Wang Jing, and said with a solemn expression: "This time, Mr. Ye suddenly woke up, but Ye Mou's heart is messy at the moment, and he really doesn't know how to do it in the future, here, please give me advice!"
After speaking, Ye Zheng bowed respectfully to Wang Jing again.
